April 25, 2008

Spring came fast! The cherries and peaches are in bloom already and the apples are close behind. A lot is happening here as we try to keep up with this warm weather.

The parts of the orchard are getting a "makeover" as we plant replace damaged trees and plant more trees of the varieties people prefer.

Yesterday the first grapevine was planted. Dressels hasn't had grapevines in over ten years. So I am told that we will be able to offer our customers our own table grapes in three years.

The ice cream shop will open on Sunday, May 11 (Mother's Day). We will offer our regular soft serve and hard ice cream. New this year-soft-serve yogurt! And to help celebrate our opening, Segway demonstrations will take place free of charge from noon to 3pm.

Apples and cider are still available at the Farm Market located at the warehouse.

As always, you can call us at the farm at (845) 255-0693.
